"Some people are saying that I am the one funding Cheparkach and he survives through my pocket, can he fit in my pocket? If he is arrested, he can clearly tell us who is funding his operations," said Serut as he distanced himself from allegations he was the one sponsoring the activities of the rag tag militia.

However, Kapondi clashed with Serut and told him to stop supporting the idea of arresting Cheparkach but instead said the suspect should be shot dead.

"Cheparkach has killed over 25 people. We will not tolerate his behaviour anymore, he owns a gun and cannot be arrested that easily. The best thing for the security agencies is shoot him dead, we are tired with his behavior. If he managed to escape from a prison vehicle while from Kimilili law courts, which prison do you think will deal with this hardened criminal?" posed Kapondi.
